Fantastic find taxiya, thanks for sharing!
I really need to up my game searching the Chinese website.
That said, it's almost a forward base operation, "austere" as would probably put it the USN/USMC.
I'm wondering if that can be performed in motion.
The line seems to go all the way to the rear, behind the missile hangar.
Black is ESM. Red and yellow I don't know.
Yellow appears to be a spotlight/searchlight and/or signal lamp in a stealth cover. You can see it head on in some photos:
No idea about red...I think it's for comms, but I'm just guessing. It's not the HN-900; the HN-900 antenna is the barrel-on-a-stick in the back. I don't think it's CEC (China CEC is phased-array, you can see them on the 055s). Maybe it's some weird Type 22-specific stealth mount (like for the searchlight) for SATCOM or something?
love these little fighting ships -a true littoral war ship -well armed,semi-stealthy ,fast and can go up rivers and into shallow areas while leaving the big blue water ships like )55,052D,054 to dominate ocean waters-and now over 25 years later these 022 can be upgraded with better comms,data links and weapons.I heard that the principal designer was a woman engineer-well done sister comrade.
